Overall I like the in game UI this game has even though it's very laggy when browsing thru items. I still do find it lacking in some aspects:

-Option to turn health bars into a solid health bar
This would give you a better idea of your total HP especially in the +20 depths where the health bars start to stack up and shrink
-Let us see how much health our teammates have
This also affects those deep-down levels where your teammate can be at 50% and the icon top-left shows him/her full
-Let us see what vials & pills our teammates are holding
By adding this teams could optimize their vials and pills so not everyone is carrying 1 shock instead of one carrying 3 shocks for example. This would go to the top-left bar under the teammates health
-Donate heat -button
This would let the end game players assist others by dropping the heat going to waste for others to pick up
-Play time
Allows player to see how much the current floor has been going on
-Gate map
Option to turn gate map on permanently on the UI when in the clockworks. Right next to the map in top-right maybe?

Thanks for reading ;)

Wouldnt a solid bar be actually less acurate? At least current health pips gives you a scale to compare and you can count how many of them you lsoe on each attack.

The problem with the rest of the ideas is space. Too much inforamtion to fit it in. Those playing on low resolution/small monitor wont read it properly.

Well, they could be optional. I have alot of empty space on my screen and I could use some extra info there

At the least it would be nice if we could have a few more things in addition to that, though I give a +1 to what you currently suggested:

-Scale up the width of the health bar display at the bottom and allow us to turn the scaled stacking off. (As an option on both)
-See if it is at all possible to limit the mouse movement to a square, circle, or rectangle at the center of the screen when the HUD is locked. I'd like that a lot, really.

Yeah scaling bar on the

Yeah scaling bar on the bottom could work too but having 1 health bar left would still be unclear as you cant know whether you are allowed to revive or not before you try reviving a teammate as it's not accurate enough and rounds up even if you have too little

Thats very annoying. Having 1 bar but not being 100% sure if you can revive your team mates.
